Ancient Greece; bronzestatue casting circa 450BC
Iron works in early Europe,e.g. cast iron cannons fromEngland circa 1543

Sand CastingDescription: Tempered sand is packed into wood or metal pattern halves, removed form the pattern, and assembled with or without cores, and metal is poured into resultant cavities. Various core materials can be used. Molds are broken to remove castings. Specialized binders now in use can improve tolerances and surface finish.
Metals: Most castable metals.
Size Range: Limitation depends on foundry capabilities. Ounces to many tons.Tolerances:
Non-Ferrous 1/32 to 6 Add .003 to 3, 3/64 from 3 to 6.Across parting line add .020 to .090 depending on size. (Assumes metal patterns)
Surface Finish:Non-Ferrous: 150-350 RMSFerrous: 300-700RMS
Minimum Draft Requirements:1° to 5°Cores: 1° to 1 1/2°
Normal Minimum Section Thickness:Non-Ferrous: 1/8 - 1/4 Ferrous: 1/4 - 3/8
Ordering Quantities: All quantities
Normal Lead Time:Samples: 2-10 weeksProduction 2-4 weeks A.S.A.

Sand Casting Mold Features
Vents, which are placed in molds to carry off gases produced when the molten metal comes into contact with the sand in the molds and core. They also exhaust air from the mold cavity as the molten metal flows into the mold.

Investment Casting
The investment-casting process, also called the lost-wax process, was first used during the period 4000-3500 B.C. The pattern is made of wax or a plastic such as polystyrene. The sequences involved in investment casting are shown in Figure 11.18. The pattern is made by injecting molten wax or plastic into a metal die in the shape of the object.

12
Investment CastingDescription: Metal mold makes wax or plastic replica. There are sprued, then surrounded with investment material, baked out, and metal is poured in the resultant cavity. Molds are broken to remove the castings.
Metals: Most castable metals.
Size Range: fraction of an ounce to 150 lbs..Tolerances:
.003 to 1/4 .004 to 1/2, .005 per inch to 3 .003 for each additional inch
Surface Finish:63-125RMS
Minimum Draft Requirements: None
Normal Minimum Section Thickness:.030 (Small Areas).060 (Large Areas)
Ordering Quantities: Aluminum: usually under 1,000Other metals: all quantities
Normal Lead Time:Samples: 5-16 weeks (depending on complexity)Production 4-12 weeks A.S.A. (depending on subsequent operations).

Die Casting – Cold-Chamber Casting
Cycle in cold-chamber casting: (1) with die closed and ram withdrawn, molten metal is poured into the chamber; (2) ram forces metal to flow into die, maintaining pressure during the cooling and solidification; and (3) ram is withdrawn, die is opened, and part is ejected. Used for higher temperature metals eg Aluminum, Copper and alloys

Die Casting – Hot-Chamber Casting
Cycle in hot-chamber casting: (1) with die closed and plunger withdrawn, molten metal flows into the chamber; (2) plunger forces metal in chamber to flow into die, maintaining pressure during cooling and solidification; and (3) plunger is withdrawn, die is opened, and solidified part is ejected. Finished part is shown in (4).

15
Die CastingDescription: Molten metal is injected, under pressure, into hardened steel dies, often water cooled. Dies are opened, and castings are ejected.
Metals: Aluminum, Zinc, Magnesium, and limited Brass.
Size Range: Not normally over 2 feet square. Some foundries capable of larger sizes.Tolerances:
Al and Mg .002/in.Zinc .0015/in. Brass .001/in.Add .001 to .015 across parting line depending on size
Surface Finish: 32-63RMS
Minimum Draft Requirements: Al & Mg: 1° to 3°Zinc: 1/2° to 2°Brass: 2° to 5°
Normal Minimum Section Thickness:Al & Mg: .03 Small Parts: .06 Medium Parts Zinc: .03 Small Parts: .045 Medium Parts Brass: .025 Small Parts: .040 Medium Parts
Ordering Quantities: Usually 2,500 and up.

Continuous casting ref AISI
Steel from the electric or basic oxygen furnace is tapped into a ladle and taken to the continuous casting machine. The ladle is raised onto a turret that rotates the ladle into the casting position above the tundish. Referring to Figure 2, liquid steel flows out of the ladle (1) into the tundish (2), and then into a water-cooled copper mold (3). Solidification begins in the mold, and continues through the First Zone (4) and Strand Guide (5). In this configuration, the strand is straightened (6), torch-cut (8), then discharged (12) for intermediate storage or hot charged for finished rolling.
